Offers and Needs Market | aka the people's market to defund capitalism

Join the degrowth network for our first offers and needs market!

Have you realised?

"Most of the things we need for a good life can be sourced within 30 km of where we live...if we know where to look. But how many of us know what our communities have to offer?"

Would you love to get some support and inspiration for completing a home, business or garden job?

Would you like to contribute to your community, in a really connecting way?

Are you passionate about Community and Localisation?

Would you enjoy having time to think about what you really want to offer in your community?

Feedback from past Offers & Needs Market: " It was a beautiful process and a great opportunity for connecting with community and bringing together needs and offerings. I enjoyed being part of the evening and connecting with new people. I love the concept of linking offers and needs, which I haven't seen done so effectively before. Samantha was well organised and did a great job at helping participants feel at ease and connect with each other."

What is the Offers & Needs Market (OANM)?

It's a two-hour guided process where people meet to identify and exchange passions, knowledge, skills, resources, opportunities, and needs. From finding a place to live, to sharing a recipe, engaging a professional service or a tutor, the opportunities are endless!

Who is it for?

Absolutely everyone, including children. We all have passions, resources, skills, services, knowledge and opportunities that we can share with others. And we all have things we need.

"Community is built by debt, not self reliance. Not the debt that is legally enforceable, but the "debt" of gratitude." ( paraphrased from Charles Eisenstein)
